COVID-19 Update, April 27, 2020

The COVID-19 situation continues to be an evolving story, and our Industry has been one of the most affected. I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many of you over the last few weeks. Some of you are at home, some are working part-time and others are still at the office trying to keep the lights on. The word for this situation – and you’ve heard it many times already – is unprecedented!   Our CHMSE Board of Directors is regularly meeting (virtually, of course!) to discuss what’s happening and pivot in these uncertain times. You don’t get to be a 40 year-old Association without weathering some storms, and CHMSE has survived them all. We look forward to surviving this one, too!   In case you were wondering, CHMSE membership terms are on “pause”. Members will be given extensions to reflect the time we have not been able to offer our usual services and benefits. Please let me know what questions you might have.   In the meantime, we need your help with a couple of things…   We can’t meet face-to-face to provide educational programming and client opportunities so would like to know how can we help you? We need your feedback to understand what services and support CHMSE could provide to you that would be of value. This survey will only take a few minutes. Please click HERE.   Secondly, if you’d like to receive emails temporarily at a personal email address please send Shelley a quick note. It will not be publicized or shared with anyone and used temporarily until life returns to the “new normal”.   We’d like to hear from all hospitality sales professionals, whether you’re a member or not. Please share this and continue to follow us on social media for immediate updates. We are stronger together! Thank you for your time and thoughts.
